What is a geometric proof?

Back

A geometric proof is a logical argument that uses definitions, properties, and previously proven statements to show that a certain geometric statement is true.

What does SSS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SSS stands for Side-Side-Side, which is a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if three sides of one triangle are equal to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

What does SAS stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

SAS stands for Side-Angle-Side, which is a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

What does ASA stand for in triangle congruence?

Back

ASA stands for Angle-Side-Angle, which is a criterion for triangle congruence stating that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and the included side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

What is the definition of supplementary angles?

Back

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees.

Front

What is the definition of congruent angles?

Back

Congruent angles are angles that have the same measure.

Front

What is the definition of a linear pair of angles?

Back

A linear pair of angles is a pair of adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect. The angles are supplementary.

Front

What is the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem?

Back

The Alternate Interior Angles Theorem states that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of alternate interior angles is congruent.

Front

What is the definition of congruent triangles?

Back

Congruent triangles are triangles that are identical in shape and size, meaning their corresponding sides and angles are equal.
